Default Fairly dumb DME relay question!

I searched thru about 8 pages and came up with everything I could need to know about DME relays - except one....and I am new to the car, so forgive my denseness (density?) Where IS the DME relay located? I'm assuming it's in the fusebox/relay box under the hood, but just want confirmation. I've heard these are a known potential failure issue on 968s so I will be getting the 993 updated relay just in case mine ever fails on the road. For $30, I'd be crazy not to at least carry it around!

Thanx!

Yes, in the fusebox, do not remember the exact location, but it should be indicated on the fusebox lid

^^ exactly what I did........probably psychosematic (sp?) - but the car seems to have a little better initial pick-up now......probably not as I understand these either work, or don't.
